    But watch out for Mr Chiseller on YouTube and Awl Shucks on TikTok. Both look like chiseling but they are, in fact, planing. I’ve tried reporting the channels but it went nowhere.

    My daily driver is a Moroni medium-fine weight but the secret is that I sharpen is each time I’m done with it so it can tackle just about anything. If you’ve got a burl, you’ll need something beefier, like a Stanchion heavy weight with the leather grip (remember leather is forever) and a shallow angled blade. It’s more work but it’s much easier. (Please don’t DM about how Stanchion is now Chinese owned, I’m talking about their stuff from a few years ago. Avoid the rubber grips because that’s the new stuff)

    I’d warn against crazychisellersforum.bet because some people go there to sell Chi like crazy people and it’s getting flooded by bots after that Wood Work game came out. I was part of the exodus to chiselorbechiselled.net and we are slowly growing!
